Identity: yours, mine, ours

Now Showing

An exhibition about identity – who we are and who others think we are.

What does it mean to belong and not belong in Australia?

The exhibition explores how our cultural heritage, languages, beliefs, and family connections influence our self-perceptions and our perceptions of other people – perceptions that can lead to discovery, confusion, prejudice and understanding.

Engaging personal stories, intriguing objects, compelling images and interactive multimedia experiences invite visitors to find connections with others, as well as challenge the assumptions we make about each other every day.

Visitors are encouraged to share their stories, affirm their identities and celebrate diversity in our community.

terrific exhibition, challenging perceptions about identity. I found it just as interesting what the exhibition didn't explore. Why is it gender blind? Femininity, masculinity and sexuality are ignored. Interesting...

I visited with my Grandchildren aged 8 and 10. We had an amazing day absorbing all the wonderful iconic pieces of information that have shaped what Australia is Today!...a Multicultural Society. I felt it was very important for my grandchildren to learn about other Cultural Historic struggles, and to learn about their Great Grand Fathers Aboriginal History. We did not want to leave, but are looking forward to returning. Thank you. :)
